Stuff I've Been Reading (7-13-11)

Like many blogs, I think I will post things that I have been reading around the internet. This way I can share things without making an entire blog post about them and I don't have to spam my Facebook friends.

Oh, in case you were wondering about Holly Tree: she is busy attempting to be an adult in the real world, so at least for now is still taking a break from the blog.


Awesome coverage both of the U.S. vs. Brazil women’s soccer game and the responses to it.

Thank you! http://www.bilerico.com/2011/07/you_are_not_transsexual.php
We should not be fighting over terminology so much. Nor, might I add, fight to split up a trans movement that has enough pressure from the outside.
I particularly like this post because, on the same blog, another blogger has recently written several posts insists upon terminology and separating binary from non-binary trans folks (not linking).


Kate, a blogger from Shakesville (http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/), is raising money for her new vagina and is educating people about trans folks as well.

Jos thinks Google+ has a gender problem. I agree (though my gender is listed publicly as “other”), and Google seems to be listening. Their current solution is to give users the option to make gender private. Not self-identification, but a necessary step regardless.
